Suppose worker A averages 100 picks per hour, worker B averages 60 picks per hour, and worker C averages 40 picks per hour. [20 points] a. If the 3 workers work in a bucket brigade, in which order the workers should be arranged?
b. If the average order requires 100 picks, what would be the average rate of order completion of the team under bucket brigades?
c. Assume the 3 workers are assigned into zones with equal work in each. What is the average rate of order completion of the team when the workers are arranged in A à B à C order?

b). 4320 have a nice day

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.
